From Yentl

God

Oh God

May the light,

Illuminate the night, the way your spirit
illuminates my soul

PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa, can you find me in the night?

Papa, are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me not be frightened?

Looking at the skies, I seem to see a million
eyes

Which ones are yours?

Where are you now that yesterday

Has waved goodbye and closed its door?

The night is so much darker,

The wind is so much colder

The world I see is so much bigger

Now that I'm alone

Papa, please forgive me

Try to understand me

Papa, don't you know I had no choice?

Can you hear me praying,

Anything I'm saying,

Even though the night is filled with voices?

I remember ev'rything you taught me

Ev'ry book I've ever read

Can all the words in all the books

Help me to face what lies ahead?

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright

Papa, how I love you

Papa, how I need you

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me goodnight...
